Watch out for the sky to turn black.

For eons, Christians have believed the world is hurling toward oblivion. But with the current economic downturn, the war in Iraq and the likely election of Barack Obama, many think it has picked up speed.

"Economic hardship is the mother's milk of prophetic progression," said Todd Strandberg of Bellevue, Neb. "It always brings about change, and it's what is helping Obama get elected."

Makes one wonder how many hundreds of times the economy has apparently sucked, a new leader was about to be elected/sired/nominated, or a nearby war was enough to trigger these apocalyptic visions. Everything old is, well, still old. Again.

Strandberg, founder and editor of raptureready.com, the largest Christian prophecy site on the Internet, spends his days linking current events with biblical passages.

How about this gem:

2 Samuel 15:4-6 wrote:

And Absalom would add, "If only I were appointed judge in the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that he gets justice." Also, whenever anyone approached him to bow down before him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him.  Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who came to the king asking for justice, and so he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

Ahh, good old fashioned electioneering and making promises.
